For those with a family history of thalassemia, regular blood tests are strongly recommended. These include a complete blood count (CBC), peripheral blood smear, iron level monitoring, and hemoglobin electrophoresis. Each test plays a key role in identifying red blood cell abnormalities, iron overload from transfusions, and hemoglobin disorders. Screening is also essential for teenagers, couples planning to marry, and pregnant women to prevent thalassemia transmission to the next generation. Don’t wait—early detection is the key to prevention. Watch our full video for more on thalassemia testing!
